Southern Stove Works is a historic factory complex located in the Three Corners District of Richmond, Virginia. The complex includes four contributing red brick buildings built between 1902 and 1920. The buildings housed the foundry, assembly operations, warehouse storage, and metal storage. In 1920, Southern Stove Works vacated the buildings and moved to their new facility, Southern Stove Works, Manchester. By 1921, these buildings were occupied by the J. P. Taylor Leaf Tobacco Company (later Universal Leaf Tobacco Company).[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.[1] The building has been converted into apartments, called the Southern Stove Lofts.
